There was a sneak peak of this a few weeks ago, but the update to this is truly amazing.This has the 'super wow' factor.

Full Credit to the Met Office on this and picking up on feedback from webs users and readers of this Mapperz Blog

Note Firefox users with FireBug might experience the no map issue - either disable firebug or use another browser to view this map, its worth it for the experience.(this is fixed!)

Anyone have any info on how theyve set this up and whats going on behind the scenes?Like where the data is being pulled in from (DBMS, GeoRSS, GeoServer,ArcSDE, etc) and also if they have relied on other technologies other than just the Google Maps API. Very impressive.
